In a marathon, three-and-a-half hour special meeting last Wednesday, the Pella School Board was able to reach an agreement on suggested adjustments to the 2010-2011 District budget.

Though no comments from the audience were received during Monday’s budget hearing, the Pella School Board spent a considerable amount of time during the meeting discussing various budget adjustments to help cover the shortfall left by the ten percent across-the-board cut in state spending.

A public hearing on the 2010-2011 budget for the Pella Community School District will headline Monday’s Pella School Board meeting. The meeting location is being shifted to the Pella High School auditorium to accommodate more guests. Other budget-related items include discussion on budget adjustments for the upcoming school year, and the setting of a budget amendment hearing for May 10th. Other items on the agenda include the adoption of a 33 cent Physical Plant and Equipment Levy and consideration of various roof repairs. The Pella School Board meets Monday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. in the Pella High School Auditorium.

Children’s author and illustrator Nancy Carlson, who will be speaking at Central College’s Writers Reading Series this week, will also make a visit to the elementary schools in the Pella Community School District.
